Re: Regression on Nutriiveda - , please advise

[Guest guest]

Hi Ruby!

Since you only used a half dosage -just 1/2 scoop just for one day (yesterday)

that would not even be enough product or time to know for sure if there would be

any surges or regressions on the nutriiveda in my opinion. We are now aware

that the nutriiveda appears to be dosage dependent. I'm not saying your child's

difference in speaking today isn't from it -but to me it's highly doubtful.

I mean if a few hours after giving the nutriiveda for the first day at a half

dosage your son said a full sentence that wouldn't mean it's from the nutriiveda

either. Works both ways -we have to look at this logically.

I also can tell you that there are things that are perfectly benign which cause

regression in my son- such as fiber (and probiotics -most of them) which in the

case of fiber my son's then gastroenterologist said it could be the fiber is

short chaining the long chain fatty acids in the gut. Doesn't mean that the

fiber is bad for him -but it is if he needs the fish oils. We have not seen

any signs that the nutriiveda interferes with the fish oils for those of us who

have our children on fish oils (in cases like mine for years)

This however is exactly the reason I don't recommend starting 2 things at the

same time. It could be perfectly normal that your child wasn't feeling well or

rested -or was more stressed today regardless of a 1/2 scoop of nutriiveda

yesterday and without the nutriiveda you would have just wondered why the off

day. Now most likely you'll be afraid to try the nutriiveda -sad.

Here's what I would do if I were you

1. Stop the nutriiveda and just use the fish oils for the next few weeks

2. Today or tomorrow call your child's doctor again and tell him what you saw

-share the label http://www.up0.net/content/666799/Choco_NutritionFacts.pdf and

ask if there is anything in there that could be harmful for a child...with 1/2

scoop...for one day.

3. I would try the nutriiveda again and see if the same thing happens. I

suspect it was more coincidental as again I can't imagine the one time dosage

you gave having any effect. If you decide you don't want to try it again keep

in mind that the nutriiveda comes with a 100 percent money back guarantee.

We must not compare speak with nutriiveda -two completely different...the speak

was very rarely approved by any doctors I know- had mega mega mega dosages of

vitamin e and k in it -and we don't need to talk about it again here if nobody

else wants or needs to.

Nutriiveda has from what I've been assured by doctors, nutritionists, a writer

for nutrition, a doctor of fitness, ayurvedic professionals, natural doctors and

my body builder friends just impressive good nutrition in it. It is even

possible your child is reacting to the stress of you trying to get him to take

this new product. Don't know.

I do know that I personally would not consider this a regression. I mean we'll

include it just like the parent that reported the rash after 2 days -but

appears to be highly highly unlikely a regression. Again to me the saddest is

that most likely now you'll never know if nutriiveda could have worked for your

child -poor nutriiveda never had the chance

Hope your child is back to his new normal today or tomorrow!

Hello Ruby,

When we started our son on 1 scoop the first week, I did not see anything[good

or bad]. At that point my main goal was to make his body used to it. the second

week when I increased it to 2 scoops we saw lots of babbling. As far as I

remember most of the Moms reported seeing any kind of reactions [positive and

negative] after atleast 4-5 days on it. On 2 scoops my son[7 yrs old] was very

hyper...he did not settle down even after a week on it. when i stopped for 3

days he did lose some of the syllables and words. But when I reintroduced his

fish oils and reduced the dosage of nutriiveda to 11/2 scoop he gained all lost

grounds.

I can very well understand as a Mom what will happen if it is stopped. Will it

be like SPEAK?

I think we cannot compare SPEAK and NUTRIIVEDA. Both are on different platform.

I can only relate to things to Nurtiiveda because I have never used SPEAK.

Nutriiveda has never been introduced as a supplement but all the natural

botanicals in it have properties which is somehow making the absorption of

essential ingredients right into the cell and discarding the unwanted out of the

body.....like a normal, healthy body should do. Which is huge as far as our kids

are concerned because there is a definite malabsorption of essential ingredients

hence the delay in speech.

The biggest factor that swayed me into giving my child is it is all natural. I

have given lots of supplements just thinking that my child will speak...but each

time I made him swallow I hoped there was something natural that could be

given.And when nutriiveda was brought to my attention with known igredients, i

just accepted it. I cook everyday using Turmeric. But turmeric , which is full

of good properties, alone has not helped him. But the combo of all the ayurvedic

ingredients with the other natural ingredients in nutriiveda is somehow helping

him[ to roll his tongue]. At this point my main goal is to speed up his

language.

Hope this eased up your concern,

sowmya

I wouldn't say it's regression, apraxia is just so frustrating. We saw so many

surges on the fish oils when we started them a few years ago but my son still

has good days and not as good days in speech. We know how well he is doing but

sometimes I just wish it would be easier and faster. I too read all the

messages about nutriiveda and hope this could help with another surge. I

checked with my son's doctor and he said it was OK to use, but I guess I am

afraid to try it still. Not because there is anything bad in it but what if it

doesn't work for us? Does that make sense? Kate

Ruby, I have not yet tried nutriiveda but have it on order and after reading

posts and giving it serious consideration I am not afraid of trying it because

there is nothing in it, that I can see, that would cause regressions.

I see where you feel concern over the regression after exciting gains, but it

seems so unlikely the half dose your son took only one time would cause a

regression.Was he really tired,or maybe he is coming down with something? But

since you stopped it I think you should just stick with the fish oil a few more

weeks and watch what changes you see with only that. I've done exactly what you

have and tried a few new things at once,or within a week or two of each other,

saw gains at first and then on more than one occassion had regressions with our

daughter, and would be confused and totally dismayed with the setbacks. We all

want to try anything that sounds like it will help, but we can't try to to it

all at once(listen to me! the queen of over zealousness )-- I actually still

have to keep reminding myself after all these years to take it slowly.(our

daughter is 6 and we found out she has apraxia at 2). In my opinion the

regressions for some children caused by supplements like SPEAK are because of

extraordinary amounts of certain vitamins.And if they weren't defficient it

caused more harm than good.Also.vitamins and supplements should be used

synergistically or something else will get out of wack.

Your question about regressions after stopping something that is helpful, like

fish oils or Nutiiveda, is something I wondered, and from my experience and from

reading posts here along time ago,the regressions didn't seem to set the

children back to where they started because they usually make true honest

progress--but we never want any set backs.Again, that is when stopping something

helpful. 's son's regressions, and my daughter's regressions were very

remarkable because they were taking something that had excessive amounts of

supplements or vitamins so that type of regression is different.

My concern ,that I will keep a close watch on, is aggitation,anxiety,bad

behavior because we've seen this before with high amounts of certain

vitamins,so, even in that case I shouldn't worry too much because all of the

ingredients in nutiiveda are not in excess,are well balanced,and synergistic.

It's awesome your son made progress like that so quickly on the fish oils. I

remember when our daughter was 2 and we started fish oils and within 3 days said

" wheee " on a family bike ride, and called me mama, and said " moh " when she

wanted more instead of pointing and grunting. It was like a miracle.And

,although, slowly she kept getting more and more. We can't keep her quiet now.

She is still stuggling with clarity and sentence structure errors but she is a

chatter box!!

I hope all is well soon. Cheryl
